Does the state have the right to acknowledge God?

Was Judge Moore removed from office for breaking the law or for adhering to his oath to uphold the Alabama and United States Constitutions?

Will the United States Supreme Court continue their attack on the First Ammendment?

The Ten Commandments case against Chief Justice Roy Moore spotlights the need for legislation forbidding federal courts from encroaching on the powers of the states and the people.

Why do we need legislation? It's already in the U.S. Constitution:

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The U.S. Congress is specifically forbidden from making laws regarding the establishment of a religion, but the states are not.

*snore*

You people are really determined to establish that most pharisaic form of Evangelical Christianity as a state religion here.

Much as you'd like, it ain't happening.

Today's Focus on the Family Broadcast:

Listen to Dr. James Dobson's speech in Montgomery Thursday.

Dr. Dobson was on Hannity and Colmes on Wednesday discussing this issue. I can't find the transcript, though.

The title is correct, but irrelevant. Those states rights were a casualty of the aftermath of the civil war, Holmes' idiotic extension of the Interstate Commerce clause, Eisenhower's sending federal troops in response to Jim Crow, and innumerable other assaults on the 10th Amendment.

Here are my thoughts on the subject.

There has been a lot of observations offered on this issue from many people, including Rush Limbaugh and other radio talk hosts. Now, I have a different perspective on this issue as suggested by a participant in an internet chat room session that I witnessed and participated in eariler this week.

The people that filed this lawsuit to have the ten commandments removed did so because they were offended by them. So, the question becomes what if I put a ten commandments monument in front of my house.

The difference there is my house is MY private property that is paid for with my own money, so therefore it is NOT a goverment property like the courthouse in Montgomery where this is going on.

Furtthermore, it is not our obligation as christians to avoid offending the athiests and progressives and what have you with our ideas and since it is WE and not the goverment that owns our property, if we wanted to put a ten commandments monument similar to Judge Moore's on our property, I don't see how this supposed "separation of church and state" would apply to us.

And I can gurantee you that that judge who ruled against Judge Moore would not get any compliance from me if he tried to pull that same stunt(making me remove the momument from my own property) on me.
Regards.
